Story

As anyone who knows me well knows, I believe passionately in the Envision team and its work. There's lots of people agonising about how the UK is becoming an increasingly unequal society - but Envision gives us a proven and concrete way to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT through its centres in Birmingham, Bristol and London.   Any donation you make will go equally towards supporting Envision's 22/23 and 23/24 programmes and will directly enable Envision to offer the proven and potentially life-changing Community-Apprentice programme to more people from less-advantaged communities.  

I may well have asked you to support Envision before (indeed in some cases many times!) but support from people like you for the Envision bike ride has been absolutely central to the repurposing of Envision in recent years; the need for Envision's services has never been greater; this is probably the toughest and hilliest bike ride we've ever done so it will be a genuine challenge; and also this will be the first time I have done an Envision ride (and asked you for money) in my 60s - so hopefully at least one of those reasons may encourage you to support me!  Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
